It has been noted that traditional English names are making a comeback, possibly because of the excitement of the upcoming royal birth. With this in mind, which name from Road to Avonlea do you think is a trending baby name this year? Sara? Alec? Felicity? Marilla? Felix?

The Huffington Post name drops Road to Avonlea when they mention that Gus is a trending name in 2013. Traditional names are featured throughout the list, signaling a shift from the modern names of recent years.

When Road to Avonlea was first on television, Gus gained a strong following of young girls. When I talk to my female friends about Avonlea, the first thing most mention is how dreamy Gus is. Perhaps these young ladies have decided to make Gus Pike the namesake for their children.

If you named your baby Gus in 2013, let us know: was it because of Gus Pike?

I didn’t name my son Gus but I did name my daughter Avonlea!

I love the name Avonlea, if I had another daughter that is what I would have named her!

I named my pup Gus, after Gus Pike and Gus from Lonesome Dove. Both great guys!

We named our dog Gus. We fostered a dog and named him Felix. I wanted to name our firstborn Felicity, but my husband said that I was too much like Felicity’s character…so we’re naming her Avonlea instead!
